Spatial and temporal analyses to investigate infectious disease transmission within healthcare settings 2014-04-30 .txt text/plain 7436 357 31 The use of similar techniques to create hospital maps, on which infection data can be displayed and analysed, could increase understanding of local transmission and risk, 11 and provide rapid dissemination of information through visualization. A systematic review of the literature on spatiotemporal examination of infectious diseases in healthcare settings between January 1961 and June 2013 was conducted using the following search terms: infection (e.g. HCAI, nosocomial, etc.); healthcare settings (e.g. hospital, intensive care, etc.); and time/space (e.g. spaceetime, spatial epidemiology, etc.). Many of these studies examined outbreaks 15e22 and evaluations of intervention strategies, 23e25 while others attempted to identify factors associated with potential nosocomial transmission (i.e. healthcare worker carriage, 26, 27 direct contact with cases, 28, 29 inadequate cleaning of medical equipment 30, 31 and the physical layout of hospital utilities 32, 33 ).
